Muse x2

Hi Everyone,

my Christmas card production is still in full swing.....so I am playing in a few more challenges. And I do love the Muse challenges - thankfully there is two of them now :)
My first one I made for the Muse Christmas Vision challenge where Kimberly Wiener made this glittery masterpiece. I did a redux of it, keeping it more mellow. 


The die cuts I used are by Memory Box, the sentiment is by Neat&Tangled, To get some glitter on my card I took a splatter stamp by Stamplorations - Mixed Media Elements and stamped it in Versamark over the sentiment and glittered it up with adhesive embossing powder and of course glitter.

Kimberley's card:
 

The glitter splotch really doe not come out in the picture...too bad. It sparkles quite wonderful in real life....


The baubles are cut from shimmer paper and I mounted the whole card on wood PP.

My second card is for the regular Muse challenge. Michele Fergusen created that brilliant card for us to CASE and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to play....


The Santa and sentiment are Paper Smooches, the paint strips are Papertrey, I colored the Santa with Copics and mounted him on foam tape. Added enamel dots.


You can see how I was inspired, right?

I hope you are not yet sick and tired of Christmas cards - I warn you - I have some more coming up....

Happy Stamping!

Der Weihnachtsmann ist ja köstlich!!! der zaubert jedem erst mal ein leichtes Lächeln ins Gesicht.
Die Christbaumkugelkarte gefällt mir aber auch ehr gut. Du bist ja schon wieder sooooo wahnsinnig fleißig, als wolltest du alles nachholen, was du in der vergangenen Wochen versäumt hast.
Doch ich muss den Finger heben: Vorsicht!!! Mach langsam, du weißt selber genau warum.
Liebe sorgsame Grüße,
Flo

Katzelkraft - Stampotique Raven

Hi Everyone, Do you know that   Katzelkraft has aquired Stampotique stamps? This fun raven is designed by Daniel Torrente (#6314). I used an old background from my stashs.  I stamped the bird and colored it with alcohol ink markers.  I brushed distrss ink onto the background and added some pattern with the   Mandala Magic stencil  from Funky Fossil Designs.I used one of the border stamps on the left for more interest.  Stamped the sentiment  and doodled a frame around the sentiment.Added a googly eye to the bird and drew in some eye lashes.  The stamps I used are from the following sets: Spiral Borders - KTZ286,  Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276  (FRANCE) Spiral Borders  - KTZ286 , Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276 (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.  Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping! Linking up with: Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - fur or feathers

Combined So Suzy and The Ton Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, I am sooooo excited to be part of this amazing event - a combined hop between So Suzy Stamps and The Ton! I have been eyeing The Ton stamps and dies for quite a while - they are just gorgeous! And So Suzy - well you have seen their stamps on my blog - they are simply fabulous! I also love that they are made from rubber - its different stamping with them. Its much better for generational stamping and they don't stick to your paper when you use your Misti. You may have arrived from the fabulous  Eunji - its a hard act to follow her.... I got those gorgeous  Peonies Dies  from The Ton and die cut them with water color paper. Spritzed Dylusion inks on a sheet of plastic and dipped the dies into the colors. Mounted them onto black card stock. Added the So Suzy Birthday sentiment - heat embossed in white. Lastly I added a strip of envelope liner paper at the bottom. Here are my supplies: So Suzy Birthday sentiment ,  Peo...
